Chapter 597: January's Monthly Report: Umbrella Corporation
"What a great job, girls! I'm glad it is the two of you who are taking care of this project." Theo said with a wide smile.
"Do you girls already know how much investment the project needs this month?" He asked after thinking for a while.
"Because we are in the middle of buying the land and other pre-construction steps, we'll need around 30 million dollars to arrange everything this month." Sam promptly replied, "It's a lower number than we thought because we weren't aware of all the steps of the construction. Now we know that the heavy investment will come when we sign the contract with the construction company, the permit approval process, and when the construction starts. In other words, we'll have to put heavy money into the project only in March and April."
"This means that the Fuji Jump Co. January's profits already cover this month's investment." Theo commented with a low voice.
"Exactly." Sam said in agreement.
'It seems I won't have to spend Moonlight's money on this project this month.' Theo thought. Just like that, they spent the next 45 minutes discussing a few other important things.
A few other details about the large factory project, the implementation of their own weekly manga magazine, their visit to the next Primrose Manga Con, and other things.
When they finally finished discussing everything they felt was necessary, Sayuri bid farewell to Theo and Sam before leaving the conference room.
She was going back to the publishing house as she had a few things to do there.
"It seems it's your turn now, Sam." Theo chuckled when it was only them in the room.
"It seems so." Sam giggled before standing up from her seat.
After Haruto's turn to present BlueCloud's monthly report and Sayuri's turn to present Fuji Jump Co. monthly report, it was finally Sam's turn to present the monthly report of the Umbrella Corporation.
Inwardly, Sam heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that Theo didn't question such an increase.
She really had no choice to do that to be honest as Theo asked too many things from her, and her previous team wasn't sufficient to take care of everything.
"Currently, the Tokyo Studios and Umbrella Corporation are the only companies that have no revenue to sustain themselves. So, you'll have to pay for their operation. The total amount is 10.1 million dollars." Sam explained as a new graphic appeared behind her on the screen.
Theo nodded in understanding when he heard the number.
10 million dollars to maintain the operation of such important companies was a fair number for him.
"Start of the year is the time that the companies pay the tax money to the federal government. As we only operated for less than 6 months last year, we won't have to pay a lot of money. Here we can the percentage..." Sam proceeded to explain all the taxes they would have to pay. "In total, counting all the companies under the Umbrella Corporation, we'll have to pay around 9.4 million dollars." She finished her report after a long explanation.
"I thought it would be a bigger number." Theo commented when heard Sam.
"We managed to decrease the final number with a few actions like..." Sam spent a while explaining how they managed to decrease the final tax money they had to pay.
"This means that so far, I'll have to send around 49.5 million to the company. 30 million for the large factory project, 10.1 million for the company operation cost, and 9.4 million for tax money." Theo commented when she finished her explanation.
"Exactly." Sam replied with a nod.
"What about the gaming company and charity organization projects?" Theo asked with a curious look.
He couldn't wait to start working on bringing games from his past life over this world, so he couldn't wait to know how the project was going.
Plus, Theo also was excited to finally start contributing his money to people in need. He had money that he could ever need, so he was looking forward to helping others. "Although I had less than the 3 weeks to start these projects, I managed to register a good advance. Especially on the charity organization project." Sam replied with a bright smile. "Does that mean that we are ready to start the charity organization operations?" Theo asked with an excited voice and shining eyes.
